EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from December 1969, we witness the relentless efforts of famous medicine manufacturers as they combat a widespread flu epidemic. The demand for their highly effective cough remedy, often prescribed by doctors, had surged to unprecedented levels, making it increasingly challenging to meet the needs of patients. However, in a heartwarming display of solidarity and dedication, fully trained pharmacists stepped forward as volunteers to assist with the bottling process at Parke-Davis & Co. , located in Hounslow, Middlesex. Traditionally an occupation dominated by women, this task was temporarily taken over by these skilled pharmacists due to unfortunate circumstances. A staggering number of thirty female employees were currently absent due to falling victim to the very illness they were striving tirelessly against. Captured on this production line within the factory walls are these devoted pharmacists diligently attaching bottle tops and labels onto each container of medicine. Their commitment shines through as they work meticulously together to ensure that every single product is prepared for distribution. This powerful image serves as a testament not only to the unwavering determination exhibited by medical professionals during times of crisis but also highlights how gender roles can be transcended when faced with extraordinary circumstances. It stands as a reminder that unity and collaboration are essential pillars in overcoming challenges within our society's healthcare system.
